There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I had a DSC-F717 and that camera took remarkable photos. It was intuitive and pretty (silver!) and the buttons were all in the right places. In short order, I felt like a pro taking pictures with it and the results were really good (if you want, email me and I'll link you to some pictures. The only problem with F717 was it was a little cheap in construction so when it began turning on and off randomly (some problem in the hinge I think) it was time to look for a new camera.
Since all my accessories are Sony (from the F717) it was natural to look to Sony for solutions. The F828 was the next level and the changes they made appear stunning.
Gone is the silver. It is now a serious textured black. No one who looks at this camera wonders if its a toy. They may wonder if its a weapon of some kind but it feels good in the hand. It balances much better than the F717 and the key layout, although I'm still getting used to it, makes a little more sense. No more using software purely to delete pictures. There's a button for that. Same thing for White Balance. WB is the most important feature I've ever found on a digital camera and very few people use it. I use it before EVERY shot. Before on the F717, I had to look for a button among a nest of buttons. Now, its right on top right near the shutter.
Next among cool reasons to like this camera is the holographic AF. This (like the F717) camera prjects a visible grid of laser light to detail the subject being photographed. The focus is tight and pretty. I haven't had a chance to play with depth of field but if its like the F717, it will be a strong suit.
It is also very fast. I can now take pictures about as quickly as I hit the shutter. On the F717, it took time.
The only negatives so far is that the camera is heavy. It balances well in the hand, but I have to find a way to carry it thats a little more comfortable. It will work out. I bought the bag (which I'll review separately and that I did buy on Amazon) and it fits into it well, but there's no pocket to hold the charger. Ah well, gotta charge at home and carry batteries.
Last, I'd like to relate my experience in purchasing the camera.
Amazon listed the camera as $454. This was listed in its main price, not through a reseller, auction or Amazon shop. I clicked buy, checked the pricing and hit Submit Order. Surprise! It was a third party reseller named USAPhotonation.com. I got a confirmation that said (pasted) "we're writing to confirm your purchase of the following item from USA Photo
Nation: 1 of Sony DSC-F828 8MP Digital Camera with 7x Optical Zoom [Camera](available to ship by 28-October-2004)
Amazon Payments has charged your credit card (DELETED) for this
purchase, and the funds have been credited to USA Photo Nation."
Having checked out resellerratings.com ([...] ) I basically saw that this company seemed to be a bunch of crooks. Out of a rating of 1 to 10 (10 being the best possible) they scored a .64 as rated by 43 people. I wrote Amazon who reassured me. On Amazon there were no ratings. Apparently I was the first time they'd ever been referred business by Amazon.
After a flurry of email exchanges between Amazon and myself, a few fired off to USA Photo Nation, which they never bothered to answer and over 2 hours on hold at their customer service number, they informed me that my order was cancelled and I could expect a refund, which I did get.
Amazon seemed to wash their hands of it. I got my money back and the next best price on another camera was north of $900 and they weren't going to supply a camera at the price I was confirmed (by them) because, they said, it was the reseller who didn't deliver the product. I, on the other hand, had NO idea I was dealing with a reseller and would never have used that particular reseller after viewing their online ratings.
I bought the camera at a Best Buy. I paid over double what Amazon assured me was the price and I'm pleased with my purchase. I'm a little angry at Amazon however. I've done a lot of business with them over the years and I think their relationship with the reseller does not absolve them of their responsibility to provide what they confirm has been purchased.
So, for my review, this is a great camera, one that is heavier duty than my F717 and much faster. But if you are thinking about buying it through Amazon, I'd advise caution. Make sure it isn't a reseller or if it is, that they have reasonable rating for delivering on time what they promise.
I got the accessories, and an email saying my order for the camera had been cancelled. It turned out that the order was forwarded to USAPhotoNation, not Amazon. It wasn't a zShops order, it was Amazon's own internal order.
After looking more in depth, USAPhotoNation does this. Sells cheap, cancells, gets you to call, and they try to sell you overpriced accessories. Aparently there was some problem with part 2 and they just cancelled the order.
Amazon was not willing to work out a deal or compensation regarding the price they promised and for which they accepted money. I did get a full refund on the camera, but I still have the accessories which I wouldn't have purchased in a split order.
As for the camera itself, it has a great optical zoom, takes pictures in low-low light, supports compact flash as well as memory stick pro, has a manual focus ring, and otherwise does all of the things that all of the other sony DSCs do combined into one. It is a bit bulky, but it's well worth it if you're serious about photos.
There are some reports of purple streaks, but this is generally lense flair. A $30 filter kit will increase the crispness in odd lighting and will also protect your lense from dirt.
The camera is a bit bulky, but this is to be expected with a decent optical system. It's great for those of us with bigger hands as you can get a really good grip on it.
So, I highly recommend this camera, but I highly recommend against using Amazon to purchase it. Go to your local camera or electronics shop and pick one up there.
We hybridize tropical waterlilies waterlilies and beardless Iris that can have flowers in the bluish pink, magenta, purple and reddish blue range that out two Nikon Cool Pix and Olympus C-765 couldn't capture. One of the Nikons did a fair job of capturing green and other than red side blue shades and the other did a fair job of capturing non bluish red shades through yellows. The Olympus sometimes was pretty good at capturing both ends of the color spectrum but was terrible in the problem range. In desperation I mounted paint color chips in the problem range on a piece of cardboard and my wife and I went to a Best Buy where a wide range of working digital cameras were on display and viewed the test board with each one. Some may have had color adjustments that we didn't try but without adjustment none seemed any better than our existing cameras and some were worse. In desperation I got my old Pentax K-1000 film camera out of storage and took pictures of the test card with it using Fujifilm 200 in various lighting conditions. The photos resulting, after rather expensive processing, were disappointing because all the colors seemed rather drab and the ones in the problem shades were not all that great.
I had pretty much given up on capturing colors in the problem range when I came across a posting on line by a women who was having problems capturing the color of purple flowers but claimed that a friend, using a Sony F828 was able to capture and email photos with proper colors of purple flowers so Sony, having discontinued making them, we bought a used one.
Being winter, we have not been able to give the camera an extensive test photographing flowers but the shots of our test swatches and of a full range of Crayola Crayons has been impressive. The camera captured the problem colors on the test card pretty well and we could tweak individual colors by adjusting the color balance but it should be noted that adjusting for an individual color can throw other colors off a bit. In addition to capturing colors in the problem range pretty well, all 24 colors in photos, particularly those in the blue side red through purple range, of the Crayola crayons looked good.
Some people will no doubt not appreciate the fact that the camera is big, heavy and cumbersome. Its definitely not one that can be slipped into a pocket or purse but it looks like it will do what we want.
